Denis Dyack did create one of my favorite series of all time (Legacy of Kain). While Crystal Dynamics did ultimately do a better job with the series than he likely would have, he still laid the groundwork and helped create one of my favorite characters. He's also responsible for Eternal Darkness, one of the better Lovecraft-inspired titles out there.

I'm glad he's making another horror game where you play as the monster. In, fact, the general description sounds like he's kinda trying to make his own Blood Omen spiritual successor...although the fact that it will be free-to-play while openly admitting grinding will be necessary really kills my enthusiasm.
